I used to be skeptical of dating apps and sites for the same reasons—fake profiles, high prices, and just not knowing if it was worth autistic.

I have not had luck with online dating apps when everyone on them is the same. I hope you are more lucky and that things will get better.

My point is, don't give up hope, it can happen, probably when you least expect it! Getting more qualifications sounds positive.
You don't sound "clueless and hopeless" at all, it's just hard to find a way forward sometimes. I think back to my days as a member of dating websites with no fondness whatsoever.
And i FEAR having to return to them in the future. To give you some hope I met my wife on a dating site. The arrival of internet dating in the late 90's massivley changed my life. I was a virgin unil I was about 30, never asked anybody out face to face in my life, never saw the signs. Internet dating back then seemed much more serious. You had to have a PC, no phone apps, and many people didn't have autistic, dial up at that.

I met my fiancee elsewhere, though, so on the whole dating sites were not a great success for me, and I know other people who fared even worse. They are pretty expensive too. Have you thought of trying to work on finding other ways to go out? Maybe you'll meet someone spontaneously if you do. Volunteering can be a good way of getting out, meeting people and feeling like you're giving something back to the community.
